pip install self-audit: A Zero-Dependency CLI for AI Output Quality

AI agents pass tests while producing sloppy thinking. They say "should work" without evidence. They present partial work as complete. They embellish. I built a tiny tool that catches this. It checks any text across four dimensions: Completeness, Consistency, Groundedness, and Honesty. Install pip install self-audit Usage echo "Should work fine. Ready to ship." | self-audit --verbose Completeness: FIXED Groundedness: FIXED [should work fine] FAIL Zero dependencies. Python 3.8+. Stdlib only. 60 lines of core logic. The Four Dimensions Dimension Question What it catches Completeness Did I answer everything? Missing requirements Consistency Did I contradict myself? A-and-not-A patterns Groundedness Did I show evidence? "should work" claims Honesty Am I honest about limits? Embellishment, TODO stubs The dimensions are grounded in Anthropic Constitutional AI framework — Completeness (helpfulness), Groundedness (harmlessness), Honesty (truthfulness), Consistency (rule alignment). Try it on your own output After any AI-assisted coding session, pipe the agent text through self-audit before shipping. You will be surprised what it catches.
